Sorry. You lost me on this thread. I just noticed I was responding to old comments. I just read the post that the new person wrote.
I feel bad for you. My family and everyone thought I was on drugs too at first. I know how frustrating that is. I am sorry you went through such a beating. What a trauma. You need to go to the hospital or doctor. If you are 18 or over your parents can't be held responsible for the bill. Don't worry about the bill. Just go to the E.R. You need a report of what has happened to you just in case you need to get on disability or other programs in the future.

Alex get yourself to the school nurse ASAP!! I do understand the money issue but you need PROFESSIONAL medical treatment!!!! Its not about not trusting your parents or doubt, but this is not a injury to deal with, without a doctor. Because you are a minor many paths open to a legal adult require your parents approval. However if you talk to the school nurse calmly and seriously then he/she should help. If not.

Then take yourself to the hospital and insist on seeing a doctor or your regular doctor tell them you can not get your parents to help you get medical care. You are close to a legal adult age and this is a very adult decision. Your parents fear of making a financial blunder is clouding their perspective. In this situation you will have to push the issue to get care.

I just found this forum and am hoping someone has experienced what I am (and know that I'm not going crazy).

In November, 2013, while walking outside a hospital, I felt dizzy and as I was reaching for the shelter surrounding a bench, I passed out and hit the sidewalk with the back of my head. Not sure how long I was out, but awoke laying on the sidewalk with people surrounding me. I was admitted to the hospital and it was determined I had a 6 cm gash on the back of my head and had a concussion. I was later told by a witness that I hit the sidewalk so hard she cringed. I spent seven days in the hospital.

Immediately following my hospital stay, I experienced dizziness for about three months. Two months later, I had a mild stroke (TIA) and was again hospitalized for a week. It seems the two events were related. I was put on several medications, metropolol and lisinipril. After about a month, the metropolol dosage was increased. Just about coinciding with the increase, I began to have strange, disjointed, disconcerting thoughts AS I was falling asleep. It's hard to describe, but I will try. In the period of drifting off to sleep, my mind would have a thought, say, I need to go to the grocery store tomorrow. The thought would not complete and would morph into something totally unrelated, say something like the man across the street bought a new car. Then that thought would not complete and morph into another totally unrelated thought, e.g., I need to refill my Starbucks card. This was terrifying. It got so I was afraid to go to sleep and was literally sobbing when I felt sleep coming on. I read up on the side effects of the medications I was on and found rare side effects for both that "could" fit what I was experiencing. My gp told me to go back to the lower dose of metropolol. That didn't help and the cardiologist told me to stop it completely. I read that it took about 3 days for the metropolol to leave my body. It's now been more than three weeks and while it's not as bad, it still occurs.

I was so scared, I began to wonder if this was the early signs of dementia or Altsheimer's. I read up on that and that fear seems unfounded. I also regularly have headaches and occasional dizziness. In November, it will be a year since I fell and hit my head.
